Senator Joe Manchin was on FOX News today to discuss his proposed gun control legislation. He admitted his bill will not prevent another Newtown massacre, “This is not a universal background check. This is a criminal and mental background check at gun shows and internet sales. It does not infringe on your right as a family… It protects the rights of our veterans… They (families of Newtown shooting victims) even recognized that this legislation we’re working on, which is the background checks on criminal and mental illness would not have saved their little babies."

No more laws period. They won’t enforce existing laws.

It's a baby step to confiscation.

Review the meanings of the word infringe.

Why not just make homicide illegal? A bunch of new laws should just about do it.

shameful....

hey..I'm not a gun nut and I couldn't tell a 45 from a 38 or a 22 rifle from any other rifle....

but I know what it means when a govt has all the control, all the weapons...

No big deal for Manchin. he is expected to be a traitor to the Constitution, He is a Democrat,

But Toomey from the State where the Delcaration of Independence was written, wher eht first sign of the Revolution were apparent, for a Republican . Toomeyis now ranked as a POS RINO, worthless human and bad American.

No I didn’t brand his as that, he did it to himself.

This will not stop a single mass murder, it ignores and erodes our 2A, and it’s being put forward in a rush by known liars looking for political gain.

“...SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED..” Are not only words with meaning, patriots have died protecting those words.

If it were as benign as Toomey and Manchin want us to believe, they wouldn’t have to defend it.

The only thing that got Manchin elected in the red state of WV was acting and talking like a republican. He claims he’s pro-life, pro 2nd amendment, and for real marriage. He even had a campaign ad come out doing target practice at a poster that said “ObamaCare”. He ran against ObamaCare and would not be seen in public with Obama. He might have fooled the good folks of WV once, but those republican votes he got in 2011 will not be there when he runs again. He has proven to be nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is not to be trusted. No man can claim he’s a conservative and believe in conservative causes and continue to be a democrat. If they do, they are the biggest hypocrite this side of the moon. Manchin’s hypocrite act will get exposed when he runs for reelection. Both he and the RINO Toomney will lose, as they damn well should.

They are all a bunch of lying SOBs. I can still remember when they pushed the '68 GCA. "Oh, you will still be able to buy guns through mail. You just get this Federal Firearms License and everything will be the same. We just don't want criminals getting them. Any law abiding citizen will be able to get a FFL."

Fast forward to today and see what happened. It went from a license that anybody could get to a license only for dealers with a storefront, that meets local zoning laws etc etc.

No compromise. Not now, not ever. Repeal the NFA and GCA'68 and we'll talk.

Why don't they publish the contents of the bill, instead of telling us it won't hurt us? One more case of we have to pass it to find out what's in it. Look what happened the last they they pulled that.

There is no excuse for violating your oath, Senator McCain. And that’s exactly what you’ve done.
